After getting sucked on and eaten by his best friend Patrick Star, scientifically accurate SpongeBob Squarepants as imagined by ADHD is destined for a life of cleaning dishes. That caps a hilariously sad life of basically being immobile at the bottom of the ocean with "friends" who are killer creatures. Real life sure sucks for the always cheery SpongeBob.
Funny or Die pokes fun of those who like listening to stories over understanding science in its latest: Creationist Cosmos. It’s like the new Neil DeGrasse Tyson Cosmos reboot TV show only made for Creationists. So instead of explanations about the universe, we get very unscientific reasons of why things exist. It’s all in silly fun.
All anyone ever wanted to talk about for the past few months has been Frozen. It’s so fun! The songs are so good! We want to lip sync them! Disney Animation is better than Pixar now! And so on and so on. Was it really that good, guys? HISHE thinks it could have better. Or at least, different with this alternate ending where Anna and Elsa’s parents just don’t understand what the heck to do (and go to someone who knows very well how to help mutants).
You could read the books. You could borrow your friend’s HBO Go account to watch the show. You can spoil yourself by just existing on the Internet. Or you can catch up with the last season of Game of Thrones through this surprisingly good emoji recap. Yeah, emojis. It covers the big happenings of season 3—who boned, who died, who’s alive—with the magic of everyone’s favorite form of smiley face communication.
If you reverse the process in one of those enlightening How It’s Made videos you get a fantastically funny How It’s Unmade parody series. This particular comedic episode shows how a delicious Oreo is extracted to provide half the United States with flour and harvested for cocaine, gunpowder, cocoa and sugar by wizards. It’s hilarious how much is hidden inside those cookies!
Here’s another classic musicless music video by Mario Wienerroither. This time, it’s The White Stripes’ The Hardest Button to Button that gets stripped of its audio and remixed with empty noises to sound like real life. It’s a lot more awkward and a lot less revolution rousing! Like two kids playing for change in a subway station.
Game of Thrones is a complicated show with a never ending cast of characters and families and sigils and bannermen and animals and politics and power and maps and magic and breasts that it’s sometimes hard to keep up with who is fighting who and for what. This hilarious parody of Game of Thrones by Cracked imagines the show’s characters getting confused at all the little details in the war and losing track of what is who. It’s great.
I would so watch a French version of The Simpsons that makes fun of itself as much as this couch gag. Hopefully, it could be just as beautifully animated as this too. This couch gag was made by French director Sylvain Chomet and it has Homer eating snails, Bart brutally making his own foie gras and a few other French touches sprinkled about.
In Focus collected a whole gallery of beautiful starling murmurations photographs, but this is one of those cases where photography can’t beat seeing thousands of birds in motion. These videos are breathtaking.
Remember when Jean-Claude Van Damme really pulled off that impossible stunt by doing the splits with two moving trucks?
